The past week has been one prolific OF
marriages and many Others are on the
tapis for the near future. 1t is noticea-
Bile fact, too, that strangers seem to tnd
our Wheeling girls very attractive, which

city in the country whose girls as a general
rule can compare with those OF Wheeling
Then where is the wonder that young men
from other cities come here to fall In love
and marry? No one can blame or con-
denim them, but it tits little rough to
deprive us of their presence among us.
